My favourite garden centre in London! The atmosphere is wonderful, there are often four legged friends around, the staff have almost always been warm and welcoming and the amount they have is great!
Prices are fair and in my experience the same as far larger stores so it’s great to support this place.
I’m not super local but always happy to go out of my way to come here when in need, even just to have a little wonder around to find inspiration.
Unfortunately the pond in the back has gone and I wonder what happened to the fish.
Otherwise great!

This is plant heaven! A huge selection of indoor and outdoor plants, for every budget. Lots of gardening accessories and products like pots, soil, sand and grit. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The only struggle was choosing what NOT to buy because I truly wanted everything! Looking forward to my next visit.

Nice garden centre with lots of options. Ranging from sale plants to bigger more expensive plants. The staff were incredibly helpful and gave tips and recommendations. We mainly focused on indoor plants but there were lots of outdoor plants also. Also was a very cute cat sleeping.

Me and my girlfriend loved the pizza. Only issue we had was that they did not cut the pizzas and it was a little bit burned but all in all it was very good !

I'm really disappointed with this supplier as after spending over £150 on a Croton Plant (Codiaeum variegatum) it turned out it was infested with Mealybugs. It's really frustrating as fighting this insect is proving impossible.

Just bought a tiny Bay leaf plant for £6 from Boma. Prices are little bit higher than other places like B@Q but that's reasonable because the garden centre is located in Kentish Town. Customer service was excellent. Received some good information about how to look after tropical lemon plants etc..
I am so lucky to have the centre 2mins walk from my flat.
Overall a great place to visit and just wonder about looking at some beautiful plants.

A little expensive. However, very good quality plants. Very friendly and helpful staff. Boma stock a good range of unusual plants as well as favourite more ordinary perennials. Plants are the healing from Covid 19. Get there soon

Omg there is so many friendly staff. Also glad that this site is updated. I posted a comment thinking the owner(s) didn't bother about the site . In fact, they DO CARE about their customers in this crazy time at moment. Five stars x

1st visit. Loved the layout: herbs, plants for shaded areas, etc. Fabulous original metal sculptures everywhere from huge giraffe to cute owls. Rooting powder cheapest I've seen so far. Good value bulbs. Indoor cactus & seedum plant area v warm, atmosphere replicated. Staff lovely. Visitors car parking.
Thoroughly enjoyed shopping for my balcony. I did go for the smaller, on sale plants.
A lovely distraction to Covid life ????????☘

Good wide selection for all the trendy/hipster indoor and outdoor plants, but generally 25% more expensive than what's available @ Columbia flower market.
Boma also regularly stocks ultra rare and variegated plants and they'll be priced accordingly.
If you have the time and you know what you're looking for, I'd recommend visiting Columbia on Sunday morning, and if they don't have what you're looking for, pop over to Boma.
Boma has very intimate, knowledgeable and helpful staff.

This place is great. The plants are all in good health, and although not the cheapest you'll find, you know they've come from good stock. Also they have amazing houseplants, with some fairly rare finds.

I love this place! It's a hidden gem in London. Affordable prices, wonderful cafe, cute cat and great staff. I could spend hours in here. I love all the sculptures too. It's like visiting a garden centre out of London. They have a good parking situation too with their own car park and plenty of on street parking. Also they have trolleys to take too. It has everything you will need. including specialist plants. 10/10

Great little garden centre, they usually have a good range of plants and the staff members polite and knowledgeable. The prices are over the medium line, but many plants are in bigger containers, from 5 L up. Also they have nice glazed ceramic pots for outdoor £15 - 90 and the compost bags, 50L size, are around £9.

Unfortunately cannot put less than 1 star. Seems that the Boma is only 'Londons friendliest garden centre' when they can tell you're about to spend a lot of money. Staff are unbelievably rude, from laughing at questions, to just turning around and walking away mid sentence rather than giving even the simplest of advice, or admitting they were unsure. Not sure if they just lack knowledge, but it seems more that they just resent being polite and helpful. The plants are nice, but massively overpriced and the plant pots are even worse. Thankfully, have recently found a much better and friendlier garden centre nearby and so never have to step foot in Boma again.
